Peyton Manning

ChilliJonI hate the Vikings!

Peyton has a problem with the Eagles getting extra time to prepare for their upcoming meeting

Never mind the fact that:

The Broncos had extra time to prepare for the Giants in week 2 after hosting the Thursday night season opener at home because the Ravens were forced to travel thanks to the Orioles.
The NFL did Denver a solid by splitting their season with 8 games on each side of the bye week.
Giving Denver 3 away games in those opening 8 games.
Denver getting a home game after their Monday nighter last night.

I'm not sure when I completely turned on Manning but I'm just sick of the guy. He's morphed into the curmudgeonly gasbag formerly known as Brett Favre. He ate up 100% of being the Monday night focal point last night and loved ESPN giving him 80 minutes of ball washing in the 90 minute pre-game show that rolled right into a 3 hour shameless plug of the Manning Family 30 for 30 special tonight brought to you be ESPN!!! No mention of the NFL scheduling screw job until today though because why dirty up the love fest. And watching that smug bastard post game last night say "that's the coaches decision" when asked why he was still in up 16 in the 4th with 2 minutes left. Like Fox has any say regarding anything related to what Peyton want's to do. The freaking guy has insterted himself into running the QB meeting every week. Look familiar???

I'm already looking forward to his January playoff meltdown to make it an even dozen and his 9th 1 and done flameouts.

Screw you melonhead!

I like Peyton Manning.

There, I said it.

In a world of Pac Man Jones , Ray Lewis' and Alden Smiths there's bigger jerk-wads out there than a hard-working, focused, proven winner.

Great family. Great role-model. Class act on leaving Indy.

Now ask me how I feel about Ndamukong Suh.

Tebow has more playoff wins in Denver than Manning.

Ouch.

I did enjoy the annual Gator beat-downs of ol' Peyton at the hands of our 'ol ball coach.

Good times.

Like, dislike... Don't care. But he's a puss for whining about scheduling. Take some HGH and get back out there.

If anyone complains it should be the Eagles. Open the season on Monday night, then Sunday, then Thursday. 3 games in 11 days is pretty brutal at any point of the season.

I will say the Broncos have a cake schedule. Easiest road to the playoffs.

Ditto. Highly recommend this. The game highlights from Archie Manning's at Old Miss are incredible. He played like a Johnny Manziel on steroids.

While I hear the role model talk, I'm with ya Chilli - I'm tired of him too.

They make it seem like there wouldn't even be an NFL if it weren't for that Manning family.

Satori"...going where the climate suits my clothes"

Interesting to note that Disney, producer of the all- time epic fairy tales owns BSPN

Also interesting that a fan base that has a lot of experience with fairy tales and hero worship would fall for it so easily

Nothing gets published about the Mannings that isn't first controlled and approved by the Mannings. No pre-approval, no access to his Highness.

We've been down this path before with the carefully crafted feel-good stories about a QB hero, written in true Disney style.

Soon enough, they'll tear him down, the unvarnished Truth will come out and the fans will find he was just another faux princess in a made- for- TV story pumped out for the masses

IMHO He's a self- absorbed prick that has abused his power in the NFL to enhance his image, polish his ego and enlarge his bank account. Lather rinse repeat

His whining about the schedule offers a peek into the real Peyton...a silver spoon pussy who has the world handed to him and whines when he doesn't get his way.

I've seen this movie before.....

Sorry, no sale

I have a co-worker that was talking about Cooper Manning with me about 2 months ago as he had played football as a walk-on at Ole Miss at the time Cooper was attending school there. Said Cooper was a really good guy who was quite friendly. He didn't know Peyton or Eli personally though.

The things I've heard on the web behind the scenes about Peyton were that he was mostly a pretty good guy when the cameras were off, but Eli was the one who came off as a bit of a jag and is more of a diva. I've got nothing to support those claims, just general stuff I've read on bulletin boards in the past so take that for what it's worth .

Not many players can say they didn't have to play for the team they were drafted by.

Aha, multimillionaires act liked entitled, self-absorbed aholes??? How would this shock anyone? There are plenty of self-absorbed non-multimillionaire aholes, even on this board.

These guys aren't paid to be "good guys". They're paid to read defenses, throw accurately, make the right audibles, and win. Of COURSE the NFL wants to see these guys on feel-good documentaries because IT SELLS! The aforementioned Favre saga isn't the only precedent.

Jim Rome said on a CBS Sport Minute the other day that there's another movie we have seen before- the Peyton Manning is a great regular season QB but struggles to win come payoff time movie.

twitter thread here

So a guy with some NFL ties saw tweets and talk yesterday about Manning as coach. Says no way. (I agree.) Says owner or bust
"He saw Elway get some ownership, but no path to control [in DEN.] Manning will demand that path," he explained
Says Manning's long term deal with Papa Johns and Schnatter are about ownership. "He's the bank. NFL connections, big dollars but, Schnatter won't want control or to be associated with one team as a league sponsor. He could bankroll Manning, easily."
His only question was which team. Thought NO, TEN, and OAK were more likely than IND.

I'm bored...

I'm waiting for the animated version. A good title for it is eluding me at the moment.

Peyton best watch his Papa John portfolio. Papa is in the ****ter today. Stock is tanking. Papa blames it on the NFL and kneeling players. He said the ongoing kneeling issue is a “debacle”.

Schnatter may be setting the stage to introduce his new “Wood Cross Burning Pizza Ovens”.

This isn’t ending well for Papa. That guy always looked like he had an expiration date tied to his ****ty pizza business

The product is beyond mediocre. Got his start selling pizza to drunks in bars, who tend to think anything hot is good.

I did not watch 1 down of the Monday Night Football game.

Had it not been for this thread, I wouldn't have had any idea about Peyton & his comments.

Papa John's pizza tastes like long-distance bus travel feels.

I was on a bus from New York to Philly once in the mid-90s with a Russian immigrant who had improved her English skills by reading Danielle Steele novels. And she even had the thank you letter from Steele to prove it.

so, if we force people to stand (mandated patriotism is the best patriotism, look it up), then he will sell more pizza.

Makes sense.

Or how about this- pick the biggest demographic of your product, do something unnecessary to piss them off, then look around befuddled as ratings plummet and advertisers start demanding those uncomfortable conference calls.

This also makes sense...

Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings. Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you king.

You mean taking money from the government to hold faux patriotism spectacles?

Not enough $$$ there to move the needle, I’m afraid.

It’s the rest of the folks who really appreciate that patriotism and displays of love of country (contrived or faux as it may be) and unfortunately for the nfl that group has loud wallets... and plenty of other sh*t to do on Sundays.

The Venn diagram of people that bitch about "politics" at ESPN and NFL and that's what's causing ratings to plummet, etc yet want their brand of jingoism and politics mandated into sporting events looks like the flag of Japan
